I had no idea that peanut butter and chocolate together was controversial. People we are talking about PEANUT BUTTER and CHOCOLATE here!! How is that not a magical combination of tastes that can do no wrong???

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Peanut butter should not be combined with sweet things. My mother brainwashed, er, taught me that by serving me PB + butter sandwiches.

Several hundred messages will teach me to go away for three days.
We went house-hunting on Monday. By Tuesday evening, we realised there were three houses we wanted to view a second time, and booked ourselves into another hotel. This morning we saw the three properties, picked one, and have just had the offer accepted. *collapse*

I see we're discussing Zenkitty's kinky sex life. That's nice. Makes me wonder where I left the handcuffs. In, y'know, a free association sort of way.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Seska, it looks fabulous! Good luck with the rest of the process and move-in!

Congratulations on the new house, Seska! I like the long back yard and the wood floors in the living room.

Congratulations, Seska!
As part of a fundraiser for a rescue, the dog had her picture taken (a lot): [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Very cool house, Seska.
There's work I need to do today. But I'm tired and achy and mostly just want to stay home, where I don't have the notes I need to do my work. I'll try TENS on my ankle to see if that helps.

Love how large the back yard is, Seska! Lots of room for patio furniture or a garden.

Thanks, all! We're very excited.
Lots of room for patio furniture or a garden.
Yep yep! We have plans for an extension. Maybe to create one of those ubiquitous middle-class British rooms: a conservatory.
Good luck with the rest of the process and move-in!
Thanks! We're hoping to have the keys by the end of June or early July. There's decorating to be done and I'm keen to get it sorted before I start the PhD in September.
Wishing you less pain, Hil. (I empathise. I climbed a couple of flights of stairs yesterday while viewing houses. It was a mistake.)
